The star-like "kagome" structure of the molecules in this 2D metal-organic material (shown in an STM image on the left and a non-contact AFM image on the right) produces strong electronic interactions ...

2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...

Physics researchers discover that assembling 2D materials into a 3D arrangement does not just result in 'thicker' 2D materials but instead produces entirely new materials. The nanomesh technologically ...

A new kind of semiconductor is the first material with a 2D geometry to provide the electrical properties of silicon—but its shape could mean that it’s actually able to outperform the reliable old ...
